The Experiment:

  • Physical, chemical and ecological characterization of streams
  • Six-week 15NH4 addition to stream water
  • Determine NH4 uptake length and rates, N turnover rates, and food web transfer of N

Figure 3. The LINX (Lotic Intersite Nitrogen eXperiment) study was funded in 1996 to study nitrogen dynamics in streams throughout North America.
